All the regulars will be in the

Evvan will give final instructions

practice since the California game,

game, and then hurt it again in the
Bear contest. Just when he was
recovered he was caught by the flu
epidemic which is sweeping the
University of Oregon campus and
sent to the infirmary. Wednesday
was Bis first in uniform this week.
Tom Weems, first string reserve
tackle, will be ready to replace
either C'olbert or Christensen Sat
urday. Weems too was in the in
firmary with the flu, and was just
released Thursday afternoon. Weems

Students Pledge
Their Loyalty at
Special Assembly
College Life Is What You
Make It, Avers Booth;
Howard Leads Reading
“Oregon’s growth, Oregon’s de
velopment, and Oregon’s value in
the 'sisterhood of states depends on
what you give- and on those who
follow you,” Hon. B. A. Booth told
the Undents at the pledge assembly
in McArthur court yesterday morn
ing.
“Pledge day is a great occasion,”
Mr. Booth said, “and is a new oc
casion to teach new duties. It is
the seventeenth time that the pledge
to the state has bee'll taken but it
is new for .those who are here. It
is a wonderful thing to be as big
as the time in which one lives. So
much depends on what we do when
wo are here.”
No one can escape leaving foot
prints behind him, Mr. Booth point
ed out, as we have to follow the
trails of others. Just as surely as
we use fingerprints to identify those
who go wrong, we leave finger
prints on those about us, he added.
- “It takes exactness,, calculation,
and' determination to have d credit
for, every entry in life,“ Mr. Booth
continued. “If not our life is wast
ed.” Mr. 'Booth told the students
that he had once studied bookkeep
ing and had learned that things
must balance to form a proper equa
tion. “Factors in equations are puz
zling things and' sometimes the un
known quantities represent knots.”
“Oregon students have great op
portunities for the university has
a splendid institution here,” he said.
“Use effort to the end,” Mr. Booth
urged the students. “Whether you
pay as an investment, whether you
stand out prominently in the end,
whether you are successful, and
whether you have assets to help
others depends largely on our own
efforts, Mr. Booth stated.
If you do not -struggle you will
not progress, Mr. Booth warned the
students, and stated that that was
the reason he did not want to be
lieve that he was success. The'stim
ulus is gone when you do that, ho
continued, for one should remain in
the struggle if a fraction of that
one desires to be accomplished.
C. A. Howard, state superinten
dent of public instruction, read the
pledge to the state, and the students
responded by singing the “Oregon
Pledge Song.”
Rev. Frederick Jennings, minister
of the Episcopal church, gave the
invocation. The men’s glee club,
under the direction of Roy Bryson,
sang “As I Sit and Dream at Ev,oil
ing, ” and “Mighty Oregon.”

McEwan Puts Final
Polish on Web foots
For Beaver Contest
Amid the cheers of a howling
rooting section and the strains of
‘Mighty Oregon,” the Webfoot
varsity went through their final
workout before the 'contest Satur
day with Coach Schissler’s Beavers.
McEwan put his entire string on
die field and let^them frolic around
playing touch football and other
favorite pastimes of college glad
der®. After everyone was thorough
ly warmed up various offehsiva
formations were tried time and j
again, with each time McEwan on j
the job to point out some minor
error in the way the play was made.
It seemed that perfection was |
just about reached by the Oregon
men, however, iis the plays seemed
to be properly timed the holes in
the defensive line opened up in tlie
proper manner. There was a variety
of plays called ranging from dif
ferent running plays to a varied
aerial attack.
All the punting formations were
tried again to make sure that there
would be no feature of the game
missing should the occasion arise
against the Aggies.
After the offense had gone
through their paces the defensive
tactics were tried. Every phase of
this work was taken up before Mc
Ewan called it a day.
Following the precedent of last
year, Squeak Parks, yell king, had
the men students assemble in the
grandstand and go through the com
plete list of Oregon yells. Plans
for rooting activities at the game
were made clear to all the students.

Daring Count
Holds Audience
With War Tales
Running Through English
Blockade; in Disguise
Told by Yon Luckner
By WILFRED BROWN
Had tlio shades of Paul Jones ami
btevon Decatur and David Farragut
(tdvered around the stage at the
Woman’s building last night, doubt
lessly they would have hearkened
back to their own romantic careers
and have welcomed Count Felix vdn
Luckner with open arms to tlio fel
lowship of picturesque and adven
turous seamen.
And well might these heroes of long
ago look t-o the exploits of the ven
turesome count. The capture of
the lordly “Serapis” by the obscure
“Bonhomme Richard” fades into ob
scurity beside the running of three
British blockades, all well equipped
with dreadnoughts and cruisers, the
fastest vessels built, by the dauntless
Luckner in an old Yankee clipper
disguised as a Norwegian schooner.
The feats of Porter and Farragut
with the “Essex” heralded through
out American history, would compare
rather unfavorably with that of
the “Sea Raider,” which destroyed
vessels containing 258,000 tons of
Allied shipping, and at the same
time did not take a single life on
any of the captured vessels.
Forceful Speaker
A picturesque speaker was the
Count, with his broad, good-natured
Teutonic face; his deep anil even
gutteral voice; his slurred t ’p, broad
a’s, and short w's; and his intensely
varied gestures. •
The Count paced the stage, as lie
so anxiously walked the deck of
the clipper one dark night in the
midst of a hurricane twelve years
ago. “Tt was nine o’clock,” he
said. “Wo were at the first of the
British blockades.” Hr joined his
thumbs ami middle fingers in cir
cles and applying them to his eyes
as field glasses, peered about the
room. All was dark, there was no
sign of an enemy ship.
Midnight came, and von Luckner
and his crew passed the second bloc
kade unmolested, the hurricane
•arryiug them rapidly towards the
Atlantic. In the morning, and just
as they thought themselves safe,
they spied a cruise/' hearing down
jpon them. The Count gasped,
damped his foot on the stage, ami
